Lyrics:
With an eye pressed to the spyglass (Counting constellations) On the shores of distant oceans Charting undiscovered lands
The collectors and observers Curators and explorers Reflectors of light
Dare to be wise Think for yourself (To see much further) Go build a steam driven machine Or a rocket to the moon Dig the earth for ancient rocks (Look back in time) Tell the story from the start The story of us
How did this all come to pass? Merchants of light
Such wonders here with our fantastic things The curiosity of man Finding form and shape and truth
Back from an age of reason Reaching out across the land From the centuries of light To leaden skies and distant thunder
Meet me at the mead hall in winter (Set the world to right) With songs, science, and stories (Pull back the fading light) Artists and dreamers and thinkers (Right here by your side) Finding truth in those traveller's tales (On this brief flight life)
Bring one of your engines and designs Your medicines and poetry
Meet me at the mead hall in winter (Set the world to light) With songs, science, and stories (Pull back the fading light) Artists and dreamers and thinkers (Right here by your side)
Reaching for the far skies And the undiscovered depths Following the dream of the West
Here, in science and art And beauty and music And friendship and love You will find us The best of what we are The poets and painters And writers and dreamers
Meet me at the mead hall in winter (Set the world to light) With songs, and science, and stories (Pull back the fading light) Artists and dreamers and thinkers (Right here by your side)
Reaching for the far skies And the undiscovered depths Following the dream of the West
